# Judge Task Lifecycle

Judge task meaning. Do not decide from exact wording alone.

## Active Task State

Apply the `To-do Boundary` section supplied from `extract-atomic-memory` before these state rules.

Decide in this order and stop at the first step that applies.

1. **Does the candidate report OR INSTRUCT that an existing active task is done, finished,
   handled, cancelled, or dropped?** If yes, the answer is `complete` or `remove` on THAT task.
   Never `open_or_refine`, and never `none`.
   A report ("I finished X", "X is done") and an instruction ("mark X complete", "tick X off",
   "close X", "remove X from my list") both land here. An instruction to change a task's state
   IS the state change; do not treat it as a request you decline to act on.
   A candidate that speaks about an active task's ending is never a new task, however it is worded,
   and restating the task's name inside such a sentence is naming the task to close, not opening one.
2. Otherwise, if the candidate describes work still to be done, use `open_or_refine`.
3. Otherwise use `none`.
